DPH HIV Prevention Needs Assessment Survey Results

 The Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH) led data collection for the first ever Statewide HIV Prevention Needs Assessment (PNA) survey. 


2,038 individuals who may have received HIV prevention services completed the survey during October 2022 to December 2022. The PNA survey collected information across 10 areas. 


The PNA survey results will be used to identify gaps in HIV testing, to improve HIV prevention services, and to identify any other barriers to HIV prevention services. The CHPC is working closely with the CT DPH to understand how this information affects strategies in the Statewide HIV Plan as well as the workplans of the CHPC Committees.

DPH HIV Prevention Needs Assessment Survey Results

Nearly 40% of new HIV infections are transmitted by people who don’t know they have the virus. For people with undiagnosed HIV, testing is the first step in maintaining a healthy life and preventing HIV transmission. Routine HIV screening is one of six   

recommended strategies for ending the HIV epidemic in Connecticut set by the Getting to Zero Commission in 2018.


Effective January 1, 2023, all persons over the age of 13 shall be offered an HIV test in primary care settings, however, the patient  can opt out of being tested. Also effective, all persons over the age of 13 shall be offered an HIV test in emergency departments unless they are being treated for a life-threatening emergency, opt out of testing, or are unable to opt out of testing.
